From “Reply 1988” To “Hello, My Twenties!”: Asian Dramas That Feel Like Home

By  at February 21, 2026    No comments

Some stories resonate because they feel familiar. They remind us of shared meals, sibling rivalries, quiet sacrifices, and friendships that slowly turn into something deeper. Whether built by blood, circumstance, or choice, family remains one of the most powerful forces in storytelling.

On Rakuten Viki, a curated lineup of Asian dramas places these bonds front and center. Across nostalgic neighborhoods, blended households, and unexpected second chances, these series explore what it truly means to belong.

Few dramas capture the warmth of growing up together quite like "Reply 1988". Set in late 1980s Seoul, the beloved series follows five childhood friends navigating adolescence in the close-knit Ssangmundong neighborhood. From Seong Deok Seon's academic struggles to genius baduk player Choi Taek's quiet intensity, each character grows up under the watchful eyes of parents and neighbors who share food, advice, and unspoken care. It is a heartfelt portrait of youth, community, and the everyday moments that define family life.

Blended families are given a hopeful portrayal in "Please Be My Family". When single father Song Hao Yu and single mother Qi Si Le enter into a marriage of convenience for the sake of their children, practicality gradually gives way to genuine care. As their households merge, the story explores trust, responsibility, and the possibility of building stability together.

Supernatural elements add emotional depth in "Miracle That We Met". A sudden death and mysterious body swap forces a man to navigate two families and confront the way he has treated those closest to him. Beneath its fantastical premise lies a reflective story about responsibility and the chance to repair strained relationships.

In "Radiant", an aspiring news anchor unexpectedly transforms into a 70 year old woman, setting off a meditation on time, memory, and appreciating loved ones while we can. What begins as fantasy gradually unfolds into an emotionally resonant exploration of aging and personal growth.

Equally grounded is "My Mister", which follows a weary engineer burdened by professional and personal hardship, and a young woman struggling under debt and responsibility. Through quiet empathy and shared struggle, the two form a connection that slowly becomes a source of healing. It is a powerful study of resilience and compassion.

Friendship as a chosen family is explored in "Hello, My Twenties!", where five young women, sharing a house, navigate university life and early adulthood. Financial stress, heartbreak, and personal insecurity tests them, but their growing bond becomes a steady anchor through change.

Romantic tension and long held emotions surface in "Last Summer" and "Our Golden Days", where childhood friendships and buried feelings reshape relationships over time. In "A Hundred Memories", two bus conductors in 1980s South Korea build a strong friendship while navigating first love and economic hardship.

"Love Me" follows a successful but emotionally guarded obstetrician whose carefully maintained composure begins to soften after meeting her perceptive neighbor.

For viewers who prefer sharper social commentary, "SKY Castle" delivers a gripping portrayal of elite families driven by relentless academic ambition. Beneath its satirical tone lies a sobering reflection on parental pressure and the emotional cost of success.

Across nostalgic slice of life, romance, fantasy, and satire, these series share one enduring theme. The relationships that shape us. Whether defined by blood, friendship, or unexpected circumstance, family remains at the center of every meaningful story. On Rakuten Viki, home is a connection that unfolds episode by episode.

Concert Review: TXT Set KL Ablaze With An Unforgettable Night Of Music & Emotion

By  at February 19, 2026    No comments

During their first-ever Malaysian stage at Axiata Arena, Kuala Lumpur, South Korean boy group Tomorrow X Together, also known as TXT, showed why they have stormed the K-pop and global music scene in recent years. As the perfect Valentine's Day gift for MOAs, all five members – Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Hueningkai – showcased their powerful live vocals, synchronised choreography, and spectacular stage production, and delivered a heartfelt performance that kept the energy soaring from start to finish.

The lights went dark at 6pm. Massive screens at the main stage showed TXT dressed in outfits fit for royalty, before switching to a montage of them running in a field, then away from the crowd. The concert opened with stunning visual effects, immediately igniting the venue as the boys powered through a series of high-energy tracks.

In a surprise entrance, the members appeared from the audience, giving high-fives to fans and posing for a selfie or ten before scurrying to the extended stage to perform their 2021 track "LO$ER=LO♡ER", a song about finding solace in the world through the escape of a person you adore. The song is a familiar favourite among MOAs, and one that gets us jumping and head bobbing to the punk-rock style guitar and drum beat.

The excitement continued with hit tracks such as "Blue Hour", which features an upbeat, almost funk-like dance break, and "Blue Orangeade" as their charismatic stage presence and infectious energy drew thunderous cheers from fans celebrating TXT's first-ever concert in Malaysia, which also happens to be the final stop on their "ACT: TOMORROW" world tour. They moved in unison, pushing powerful arm gestures in tight, tactical motions. Even when they let loose, throwing a smirk or a wink toward the crowd, it appeared effortless.

The boys expressed their heartfelt gratitude throughout the night. "We've finally come to Kuala Lumpur to meet you!" Taehyun excitedly shared. Yeonjun, on the other hand, praised the crowd's powerful cheers and even hyped up the arena in Malay by shouting, "Jerit semua!", further igniting the atmosphere. Beomgyu and Hueningkai also expressed how impressed they were by Malaysian MOAs' enthusiasm, while leader Soobin promised to give their all for the show and reflected emotionally. "As this is the final stop of the tour, we hope to create the most beautiful memories together tonight."

Beyond their commanding group performances, each member shone in a slew of standalone acts. Taehyun delivered an emotional, majestic rendition of "Bird of Night", highlighting his delicate vocals. Soobin radiated youthful charm with a perky rendition of "Sunday Driver". Meanwhile, Hueningkai transformed into a charismatic performer with "Dance With You", showcasing his magnetic stage presence. Yeonjun flaunted a laid-back yet powerful vibe for "Ghost Girl" and "Talk To You", demonstrating his explosive artistry. Yellow confetti fell as Beomgyu rounded out the solo stages with the soulful ballad "Take My Half", drawing the crowd into a tender moment.

The boys also performed fan-favourite hits including "Crown", "No Rules", and "Deja Vu". When the iconic intro of "0X1=LOVESONG" echoed through the venue, fans spontaneously erupted into a massive singalong, deeply moving the members on stage. Adding an element of surprise, TXT delighted fans with varied encore performances of "Wishlist" and "Do It Like That", stepping off the stage to interact closely with the audience, bringing the night to its emotional peak. Throughout the night, MOAs – with their hand-hearts, lightsticks, and screams, showed the boys they were loved.

As the concert drew to a close, the members reflected on their journey since debut and expressed sincere gratitude to MOAs. Taehyun shared warmly, "We've created so many precious memories together. Why did we only come to Kuala Lumpur at the final stop? We should have come here earlier!" Beomgyu and Yeonjun thanked fans for their unwavering support, while Hueningkai promised that TXT would return to Malaysia soon. "It's truly a blessing that the final stop was Malaysia, because your passion is incredible," Soobin concluded emotionally.
